Intuitive Machines Stock Plummets 13% Amid $500M Share Offering
Intuitive Machines (LUNR) shares tumbled 13% following the announcement of a $500 million at-the-market stock offering. The move, facilitated by ten financial institutions including Barclays and Deutsche Bank, sparked dilution concerns despite the stock's 54% rally over the prior month. Space sector enthusiasm—fueled by anticipation of the SpaceX IPO—had previously buoyed LUNR and peers like Virgin Galactic and Firefly, which have also recently pursued capital raises.
Rocket Lab (RKLB) now trades at nearly 70 times forward sales, intensifying debate over stretched valuations in the space industry. The ATM offering allows Intuitive Machines to issue shares directly into the market, compounding investor unease as broader indices dipped modestly (S&P 500 -0.5%, Dow -0.8%).
